The Nomadic Labyrinth

The Nomadic Labyrinth is an installation and public-interactive-based project that consists of a large scale labyrinth-like sculpture of precisely cut carpet. This will be an ongoing project with a series of installations that not only explore the integration of drawing and architecture, but serve as a walkable path for the public to explore as an urban meditation. The carpet pathway will be presented as an installation on the floor of a street, gallery, or alternative space. The public and community members will be invited to explore, walk or meditate in the labyrinth and experience art as a transformative tool.

Inspired in an Arabic floral pattern, the carpets used in this design have been collected from several recycling companies in the Bay Area and they represent decorative classic western patterns. For the design of this labyrinth I was interested in the juxtaposition of two different cultural patterns – creating a movable, meditative environment where carpet from archetypical western places like the Ritz Carlton meet an inventive Arabesque.

The Nomadic Labyrinth reflects my vision of creating art that is playful and in dialogue with urban space, and it takes this work one step further by exploring the relationship between art and spirituality, daily life and ritual.

The project launched from Saint Ignatius Church at University of San Francisco in september of 2013 and it travelled through the San Francisco Bay Area through 2014, including places like the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, YBCA and the De Young in San Francisco.
